An American civil rights group made an accusation that a Hallmark card was racist and the card was pulled from distribution.
Given the context of the card, see what you think.
What do you hear?
Are they correct or "only in America.

Sounds like the justification for it should be believed surely?

I worked for Andrew Brownsword's who were taken over by Hallmark and did work for them in Kansas City. They had cards for everything. I liked the one saying Thank you to the School Bus Driver!

Given the context of the card I'd suggest its whatever African American group has chosen to make a story out of nothing in order to get profile for their cause.  A bit like the chris Rock character in Jay & SIlent Bob, or even ALi G.
